Coin Details

Description

This 2026 one-ounce silver medal depicts Supergirl as part of the United States Mint's Comic Art Coin and Medal Collection. Supergirl (Kara Zor-El / Kara Danvers) first appeared in Action Comics #252 (May 1959), created by Otto Binder and Al Plastino. Supergirl is Superman's cousin, sent from Krypton as a teenager to protect her infant cousin Kal-El. Arriving on Earth years after Superman was already established, Kara Zor-El possesses the same Kryptonian powers but brings her own perspective as someone who remembers life on their home world. Since her 1959 debut, Supergirl has evolved from a supporting character into a major DC hero in her own right, headlining her own comic series and inspiring a successful television series. The obverse depicts Supergirl in a dynamic pose embodying bravery and grace, rendered in the comic art illustration style established by the program. The reverse features the Supergirl emblem. This one-troy-ounce medal is struck in .999 fine silver at the Philadelphia Mint with a matte finish. It measures 40.60 mm (1.598 inches) in diameter with a plain edge. The medal does not carry a date or denomination, though it is cataloged by its release year. The one-ounce silver medal has no fixed mintage limit, making it the most accessible precious metal offering in the Comic Art program. Subscriptions are available for ongoing character releases. The one-ounce silver medal serves as the entry point for precious metal collectors in the Comic Art program, offering the same design as the gold coin and 2.5-ounce medal in a more affordable format. Supergirl launched the 2026 season of the Comic Art program as the year's first character, continuing the series' celebration of DC's most iconic heroes. The Comic Art Coin and Medal Collection marks a historic expansion of the United States Mint's product line into licensed entertainment properties. Working with Warner Bros. Discovery, the Mint has created a multi-year series that celebrates DC Comics characters through the precision craftsmanship and artistic standards that define American numismatic production. With no mintage ceiling and subscription availability, the one-ounce silver medal is designed for the broadest collector audience, providing an affordable way to collect each character in .999 fine silver.
